With Valentine's Day out of the way, many of our eyes will be focused on the next big holiday – St. Patrick's Day.

Considering, York's proximity to Baltimore, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh (and the state's largest St. Paddy's Day parade in Scranton), we've decided to add in a few notable destinations outside central PA for those of you who don't mind traveling for a quality pint of green beer.

Check out the list below for region-wide parade dates and festive celebrations around the area.
